    Watching my virtual scroller work is unexpectedly satisfying…

    I hate it when recruiters ghost candidates.

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 06:24 AM PDT

    So I had a few interviews over the last month. Some went well, some went bad. I kind of always expect to hear back from companies or HR people though, which doesn't happen 70% of the time. It drives me mad. Why is this still a thing. A simple rejection mail would be so much better. What are your thoughts? Do you follow up with them?

    I created an Android app and a website using the same codebase!

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 07:26 AM PDT

    Hey everybody!

    I had a bit of a proud moment I wanted to share with people this morning, my app was approved by the Google Play Store!

    It's the first time I've really ever finished a project to completion and I am really happy with it, I didn't really have anyone to share it with so here I am!

    I am really excited with how I was able to re use the same codebase for both my Web app and the Android app, using React & Next JS with a serverless backend (AWS Amplify).

    I created a PWA from my website using next-pwa which is a interface on top of Workbox, and then used a new tool 'Bubblewrap' to create a TWA (Trusted Web Activity) that creates an APK which I uploaded to the Google Play Store!

    If you are interested in checking out the site/app I'll put the links below!

    Help with getting information from database

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 02:43 PM PDT

    <?php /* programmatically loop though employees and display each name as <li> element. */ $servarname = 'localhost'; $username = 'root'; $password = ''; $dbname = 'book-small'; $conn = mysqli_connect($servarname, $username, $password, $dbname); $query = "SELECT * FROM employees ORDER BY LastName;"; $res = mysqli_master_query($conn, $query); while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($res)) { echo $row['FirstName'].' '.$row['LastName']; } ?> 

    For my school project, I have to get information from a database called book-small and I have to display it. When I run the website I get the error " Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysqli_master_query() ". I can't figure out why this is happening or what I need to do to get it to work.

    What are the downsides of using the OpenAPI specification to generate client libraries?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 02:10 PM PDT

    The OpenAPI spec (formerly Swagger) can define an HTTP API and various tools can use that definition to build client libraries. One example is https://openapi-generator.tech/

    There's several articles on why this is a good thing, and they boil down to "you can create a lot of libraries at once". As a related note, it's the same selling point used by services like PhoneGap that let you write something once and then it builds for multiple needs (e.g. phoneGap builds your app as an iOS app, Android app, etc..)

    But I'm sure any technology has downsides and tradeoffs, or seem too good to be true. What are the downsides of using OpenAPI to document your API and build client libraries.

    In my case I want to build a Python client and i'm wondering if it's better to just write it directly.

    Thanks!

    How does backend work exactly..?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 07:27 AM PDT

    I have some basic knowledge in front end development, I wanted to try hosting a website (basic login page or something) and wanted to make a simple database, but I was lost in backend. I am good at python and I know some frameworks like django and flask can be used instead of php. but do I still need mysql to make a database? or is one of these backend languages enough? I'm really lost.

    Book suggestions (or other resources) on Accessibility?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 11:40 AM PDT

    Hey guys. Is anyone into accessibility that could give me some opinions on some books or other resources that more of less outline how to develop websites with accessibility in mind?

    It's something that's been in the back of my mind for a while and I really want to start developing more accessible apps and sites, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

    Cheers!

    Keeping client’s repo public (with permission) for prospective employers to see?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 12:13 PM PDT

    I started learning development about 1.5 years ago and started doing client work as a freelancer about 6 months ago. I've had two real projects in that time. One was an e-commerce shop where I'd absolutely not want to or be able to share the source code, but the other was for a small company where I know the owner personally.

    This owner has given me permission to keep the repo public to potentially help with getting work, but I'm worried it could send a mixed message to potential employers looking over my GitHub. Will it tell them that this prospective hire doesn't respect clients, or will they assume that I'm not violating some contract, etc.?

    This post feels a bit trivial to me, but I don't want this to be an unforeseen foot gun for me because getting work has proven to be pretty difficult at the moment and small details like this give me anxiety.

    Meaningless Creativity

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 09:49 AM PDT

    For an Open, REST Api, how should I add authentication so that only I can access the API?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 03:35 PM PDT

    Hey all, just a quick question. I'm writing a back end to my website, and have a couple components that pull from a database (SQLite, I'm using Next JS with Prisma). The idea is that when it comes time to update the content of the page, instead of manually changing the files locally, committing, merging, and pushing them to the production branch, I can just use a single API call to the site, and change that content directly. I don't want anyone to be able to access the data, so my head first went to authentication. I guess if it were a larger application with many users, you would use JWT and databases to manage that, no problem. Since it's just me, I think a whole database is overkill.

    Any recommendations about how I can implement this cleanly and effectively? Thanks in advance!

    Jersey for server side development

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 03:26 PM PDT

    I have done BS Electrical Engineering and recently got the job as software engineer in a firm which provides web services to clients. They use Jersey framework for server side development but from what I have searched, this framework is not so popular. Most firms are using Nodejs and other frameworks to work on server. Is it fine to continue this job as working here will increase my experience but in something that is in less demand. Does doing this job ensures job security in software market?

    Need help/ideas with a workflow that isn't' working.

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 03:26 PM PDT

    I work in a small agency with 3 devs. The CMS we specialise in is like Shopify in that we don't host it and don't have access to the back end and most of our work is just styling up the front end.

    We have FTP access to the theme files. Before I started there was no version control software like Git or workflow. Version control was to copy the theme, make a change, and set that to the live theme. We'd end up having 20 theme directories on the site with only 1 being live.

    I set up a system where there are only 2 themes - stage and production. I used Git for version control. Work would be done on stage and checked by the client there. Once the client was happy, the developer needed to only merge their changes to the master branch and a Github Actions script would deploy it to the live theme.

    My idea was not only did we have a log of all the changes, but a review process as well and way less mess on the server.

    Only, it's not working too well. 6 months on there are random issues with some code being deployed but not others. Devs are also still FTPing straight to production, or forgetting to push their code up (so the staging theme looks up to date, but the master branch isnt).

    There's load of embarrassing errors and I look silly for making it worse.

    Is there anything I can do to improve this flow?

    Free server hosting

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 03:18 PM PDT

    I'm building my first freelance application and I need a host for backend. Is there a free host?

    About the frontend, I know GitHub Pages. Is there another better option?

    Any thoughts on Perpetual Education? Sort of unique compared to the other bootcamps out there.

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 02:42 PM PDT

    Link to Perpetual Education

    I just watched the CEO get interviewed on Don the Developer's podcast. Check it here.

    Seems kind of interesting. A mix of UX and web design/development. A different approach compared to the other bootcamps out there.

    Any thoughts from the experienced devs and UX designer out there?

    Do you think this course has the potential to make you job-ready in 6 months?

    Do you think this course is lacking any crucial lessons for the professions?

    How to create sliding smooth scroll effect?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 02:13 PM PDT

    An example is this website https://kota.co.uk/

    When you stop scrolling with the mouse wheel it slowly and smoothly stops like its decelerating.

    What is the best way to search for domains by length?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 02:11 PM PDT

    I am looking for a short domain, not more than 6 character and for cheap. That is including the domain extension. I have no preference for .co, or .us or .co.uk..... nothing of that, the name combination is all that matters.

    How efficient is it to use paid templates based on CSS frameworks?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 01:35 PM PDT

    I'm learning Front-end for some time. I made couple websites and one of them I based on free template. At first it felt non-efficient to edit so much code and trying to understand structure created by someone else, but after finishing portfolio I came to understanding that least time spend to perfect a design, make it responsive etc. I had with that one website that I didn't code from scratch.

    In your opinion, how efficient is it to use something like this or this for simple websites(1-4 pages, few JS) for small business? Hundred bucks for lifetime license and many of those websites look pretty but isn't editing it too much time consuming comparing to coding from scratch in the long term? And what about maintenance, what if client wishes some solid editing or implementing technologies like Wordpress or Webpack?

    Anyone feel like a solution looking for a problem?

    Posted: 14 Apr 2021 07:24 AM PDT

    So typically there are a million "idea people" trying to talk developers in to working on their vision for free. I've spent many, many years building solutions that work, scale and (I think) are pretty slick. I want to have my own app / company again but honestly I just don't have the inspiration.

    What do you do when you want to solve a problem but you can't seem to identify the problem?
